Real MPG: Volkswagen Passat (2005 - 2011)

Number of RealMPGs submitted

20–67

Real MPG

47.0

Average

Spacious and comfortable. Wide range of engines. Big, boot with lockable seatbacks. Generally better from May 2008 onwards.

Marred by too many problems for a car people assume will be high quality. 2005-2007 Passat 2.0 TDI best avoided due to oil pump drive failures. Failed electric parking brakes almost inevitable.
